* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They really do not seem to understand the value humans place on individual lives. Or on individuality. In fact, it might be said that they are just as confused by the nature of human life as we are by them. [[spoiler: And when a chat with Setsuna reveals to them that their normal method of communication is dangerous to earth, and that their reaction to being attacked as a result is not helping things, they IMMEDIATLEY cease all hostilities, form a symbol of piece, and ultimately end up in symbiosis with humanity as a whole. Granted they also side against the Old Human Faction later on, but that had more to do with the fact that said side wanted them dead as well and they certainly strayed from repeating their actions during the movie.]]

* StarfishAliens: They are made of metal. They can shapeshift in seconds. They are psychic. They can assimilate things. They live in gas giants... actually, compared to recent depictions of aliens in other series around the time of 00's airing and even currently, there isn't ''anything'' familiar about them to Earth lifeforms. In Fact, somehow they're even more alien than the [Anime/EurekaSeven Coralians]]'' ever were, which is saying something, but as the same time eerily realistic.

This is to the point where, when they start absorbing and copying GNX-IVs, said link makes them far more dangerous than their human-piloted counterparts due to said shared link and shared vision.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Played [[BodyHorror horrifyingly]] straight.* PowerCopying: They begin doing this in the final battle, copying warship and mobile suit designs. This also makes them a ''lot'' more effective in combat.
